Happiness is a journey

Oh boy, I'm late for Illustration Friday again! But better late than never!
The inspiration for this painting was this wonderful quote:

"Happiness is a journey, not a destination"
~ Ben Sweetland

so true, don't you think so?

I've painted this illustration with watercolors on 8.5 x 11 paper.
You can buy its Giclee print from my Etsy shop.

Happy Easter friends! I hope you have a great time :)

Koala...my love!

Mommy and baby Koala!

I made them with polymer clay and the eyes are painted with acrylic colors.

I haven't forgotten about the rest of the alphabet's animals!

Soon I'll show you the Lobster :)

Shop update

I've updated my Etsy shop with some fresh new pieces.

These ones are my favorites, I called them "Pure Glamour"!

Tons of sparkle and shine!

~ Some silvery pieces ~

For the delicate girl :)

And some vintage inspired ones!

Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend friends!

...end of winter

Winters in Canada are very long ... but spring is almost here,

green grass is growing everywhere and birds are singing!

I found some dried plants this weekend when we went for a walk.

The last pieces of winter...

"Curious birdies"

watercolor on 8.5" x 11" paper

The print of this illustration is available in my shop.

Forbidden love

It's been a long time that Igie was in love with JellyBelly...he didn't know how

to tell her how much he loves her. Everyone was saying that an Iguana

can't love a Jellyfish but Igie didn't want to give up!

Hippopo in polymer clay

Do you still remember Hippopo? "H" of my animal alphabet?

Well...I am very slow in this alphabet project,

but I promise to show you more of them this week! :)

Red morning

I was stunned by color of the sun this morning. It was bright red!
The moment I woke up I jumped and took a few photos of the beautiful light!

No Photoshop editing! It was really like this! WOW!

It only lasted a few minutes and after that clouds came down and covered
the whole city and everything was in deep fog...

Illustration Friday - Duet

Probably you remember the sketch of this illustration that I did back in 2010.

It's been a while that I wanted to color it with watercolors and finally I did!

I made two prints from this painting, one with old paper background and one

with white background. Which one is your favorite?

Goddess jewelry

An illustration-jewelry collage I made and it is dedicated to Ancient Greek.

For the goddess in you! :)

You can find all of these pieces in the shop now.

Did you notice that my blog's background has changed? I LOVE it! My lovely sister

Azadeh did it for me! She's the best sister in the world! Thank you so much sister! xo :)

Recipe for love

Sorry for being so quiet lately, I was working on this watercolor painting and

some new jewelry designs that I will show you in the next post.

* I don't know the author of this recipe, how about you? *

I originally wanted to do this illustration for Illustration Friday's "Stir" topic,

but I'm a few weeks late!

Another weekend comes to a close.

Hope you have a wonderful one :)
